Howdy yall!

So ive recently decided that i need an upgrade graphics card from my:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814161372

The card still works great and it runs Farcry 3 pretty decent but i should probably upgrade and get a slightly better one to run Rome 2 total war and other great games that are coming on the horizon.

Heres my motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16813157271

So im trying to decide which graphics card would be better suited for me and also how would i go about installing it and which one should i get? Do you simply put the graphics card into the slot on the motherboard and when you get to your desktop it prompts you to install the drives or what not?

Here are my choices:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814202006 saphire

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814125418 gigabyte

Any awesome advice would be greatly appreciated on which one, how to install it, and should i even upgrade and if there are better alternatives out there please let me know lol. Dont have much knowledge when it comes to this stuff lol.

Thanks!

I don't know much about the Radeon cards.

I do know much about Nvidi tho.

If I were you id get a GTX 560 or 660 ti from EVGA. So far I have had no issues with them and they are extremely powerful. If money is an issue the 460 is still a decent card, just not as good

Well i stumbled upon this one on newegg

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814130809

I havent had an nvidia card since..well 2005 lol. I'm not really knowledgeable about the differences between ATI and Nvidia and at the time i was building the computer No arms and others helped me out alot over time and recommended that current radeon card i have. It works great i love it. Its conquered everything ive thrown at it. I just never thought about switching or even considered which one was superior over the other. My choices are all around the same price of $300 so at least looking for a decent card that will last me a couple of years and is reliable of course.

Thanks for the input Bryant. Does anyone else have some feedback on Radeon cards by chance? I will consider the Nvidia's but is it complicated to change cards like that if you already have ATI drives and stuff? Will it conflict with the motherboard and stuff? I always hear stuff about how some cards dont work for certain MBOs and it makes me nervouse about purchasing graphics cards without proper help.

Well i reached the conclusion with the help of Bryant,Mcdowell and Lafy that im going to be purchasing another radeon 6950 to crossfire with my current 6950 which will give me better performance and output.

      jelly3384's application for Enlistment Form Questions Name you wish to use and Age: (Our unit uses realistic names, this does not have to be your real name) Pigeon, 16 Platform Type Epic Games Store Steam ID (Use 17 Digit SteamID 64 / PC Game Pass Account Username): Pigeon_theft   Do you have a microphone? Yes   Which game title are you applying for? Hell Let Loose   If you've selected Hell Let Loose, do you understand that this game is currently not cross platform capable and only PC players currently may apply? ( Steam or PC Game Pass) Yes   Why do you wish to join the 1st Marine Raiders? I've played BFV and milsimed in it, and it was a lot more fun when I milsimed. and I enjoy playing HLL, so I think it is going to be more fun when I join.   Did any of our current members play a part in you enlisting? If so, who? If none, how did you learn about us: I found you guys from a website called disboard when looking for HLL milsim groups to join.   This unit offers more than just a place to play games with each other, do you have any online skills you think would be useful? no   Do you have any Leadership experience that you think will be helpful? I'm not sure if it will be helpfull,but I used to be in BFV milsim groups and in my last one I got to [E-7] out of [E-1] to [O-8], so I was a NCO and I helped the officers with whatever they needed doing, weather it was assisting with training, settling disputes or helping them decide what was appropriate disciplinary action. And when we were in combat I was usually assigned to lead my own squad.   Have you ever been in a realism unit before, and if so, which unit was it? yes. I was in quite a few BFV milsim groups, although I was only in one at any given time. unfortunately, I have left the discord servers and I do not remember the names of them. if you would like, I could probably give a reference to someone who was an officer in most of the groups I was in.   By posting this Enlistment form, I acknowledge the instructions completely, declare that I am 16 years old or older, and agree that I have and will follow server and unit rules maturely and respectfully or face immediate rejection.
